Acclaimed writer Edmund White passed away June 3, 2025. An author of 36 books about gay life, love, and culture, his influence on queer literature remains profound. Find his books as well as coverage of his work on Lambda Literary Review's archive: linktr.ee/lambdaliterary.

Wrote a few words on Guadagnino’s aesthetics. Read and share your thoughts? :))

Castration, Aesthetics, and the Phallus: Luca Guadagnino’s Queer
“The status of the phallus is a fraud,” writes Jacqueline Rose. As such, castration is the other of the aesthetic. While castration separates and subtracts, the aesthetic totalizes and encloses.

Saw a strange dream last night about a Judi Dench film where the audience can choose the ending they want. At one point in the film, I (who was in the audience) was asked by the usher which ending I would prefer, and accordingly I was asked to move to a different screen. I forgot the ending I chose.

@bsky.app is still not as gay as Twitter. You need to lift those censorious covers man if you want an exodus of the gay crowd on this app!

If Walter Benjamin were alive today, he would have written “The Work of Art in the Age of Lookalike Contests.”
